The Skyfort

Freddie and I started building this swing set on Thursday night before Good Friday.  We both took a vacation day for Good Friday since the kids were both out of school and used it as an opportunity to work on the SkyFort. 

Avery is "reading" the instruction book. 
Here is what it looked like at the end of Thursday evening.  The next morning, Good Friday, the kids woke up really early, like normal and so we started working again at about 7 am. 

Cade and Caleigh came to hang out with us while their parents worked.  It was a blessing to have them at our house. They helped keep our kids busy while we were working. 









The first picnic lunch on the fort. 

The wind was blowing so hard that chips were flying, bread dried out in a jif and the kids had to sit down low to keep their plates from being blown away. 









Tate came over after lunch and the kids got into a water fight using a water hose, buckets and plastic cups. 














Next came a break from the water and cooling off by eating popsicles. 


Carrol came over after he got off work and helped Freddie put the room on.  By this time Luke had gone over to Tate's house and Caleigh and Cade had gone home and Avery was sad that she didn't have anyone to play with.  So, she laid down in the fort and went to sleep. 
This was a good stopping point, plus it was almost 8 pm and we were ready for dinner.  Posted by Picasa
